Outgoing

Staff mobility enables short stays by academic and non-academic employees (administration, management, and teaching staff) of the University of Bern for continuing education purposes (e.g., job shadowing, seminars, workshops) at European institutions (not necessarily universities). The aim of such a stay is to gain insight into the administrative processes of one's own field of work at another institution and to acquire practical skills for one's own professional activity and development through the exchange of experiences and good practices. Participation in conferences cannot be financed.

You can apply online directly here.

Further Information

Terms and Conditions

1. The training lasts at least 2 days and no more than 60 days (without interruption).

2. Before the stay, the work program is agreed upon in consultation with the host institution and the supervisor.

3. Participants register via Mobility-Online.

Financing

Travel expenses: Actual costs based on receipts (max. CHF 500) for round trip (one-time).

Daily allowance: CHF 170 per working and travel day (days 1–14) or CHF 80 (days 15–60)

Important note: The outward journey to the mobility location and the return journey must be booked and invoiced via the travel platform in accordance with the University of Bern's traffic light system (Travel Policy). This policy also complies with SEMP guidelines: As a rule, the most cost-effective option for public transport, such as train (bus), should be chosen and preferred over flying. Together with the grant agreement (see procedure), you will receive the credit reference number and the institute number, which the participant must provide when booking. Accommodation may not be booked using this credit, as participants are reimbursed for daily allowances (and not accommodation costs) after the end of their mobility period.
